Where do I even begin with this situation? Is it for real that a mother could sell her child to settle a drug debt even if it meant her rape and eventual death? Are there really people out there in this world that could be so cruel and narcissistic? Did she consider simply selling her daughter, Shaniya Davis, to her father instead to safeguard her child?
"Antoinette Davis,
Charged With Child Prostitution,
Is Pregnant Again"
When I read the headline above my stomach sours at the thought of putting the life of a child back in this woman's hands. I feel that the death penalty should be reserved for people only that do the unthinkable and I will stand up and be the first to say that this woman should be put to death for what she did to her child. This reality is simply unreal, much like a horror film where campers are gutted. I feel gutted!Shaniya's aunt, Carey Lockhart-Davis told Winfrey, "I am disgusted, but yet in so much pain at this point. She was such a vibrant child and such an important part of my life. And it's hard at this point to understand why someone would take this sweet blessing away from me."
Preliminary autopsy reports indicate Shaniya died from asphyxiation, according to the Fayetteville Police Department, though authorities are still waiting on a series of tests results before making a final conclusion
